Not sure what to say?

My heart goes out to the family and loved ones who grieve Mary. She was an outstanding woman and always so pleasant and friendly. It was always nice to spend time around Mary; she naturally made you feel at ease and was just a terrific woman. It is a great loss for those remaining on Earth, but a huge gain for Heaven above. I am so sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy to Mary's family. She was a remarkable woman and I was fortunate to have spent some time with her over the last two summers. She was always calm and outgoing, never complaining. I'm grateful for the opportunity to reconnect with her after so many years.

Mary was one of my dearest friends in high school; we later lost touch as we went away to college and moved away from Plainwell. What wonderful memories I have of her, of her mother Rachel, and of her grandmother Fanny. She was funny and upbeat and optimistic, in addition to being one of the kindest people I've ever known. I am so very sorry for your loss.

My deepest sympathy to you, Meg, and to all of your family. Mary was a wonderful woman and I always enjoyed visiting with her and reading her comments on facebook. She will be greatly missed.
